gpg: New caching functions.
* g10/objcache.c: New. * g10/objcache.h: New. * g10/Makefile.am (common_source): Add them. * g10/gpg.c: Include objcache.h. (g10_exit): Call objcache_dump_stats. * g10/getkey.c: Include objcache.h. (get_primary_uid, release_keyid_list): Remove. (cache_user_id): Remove. (finish_lookup): Call the new cache_put_keyblock instead of cache_user_id. (get_user_id_string): Remove code for mode 2. (get_user_id): Implement using cache_get_uid_bykid.
This generic caching module is better than the ad-hoc code we used in
getkey.c. More cleanup in getkey is still required but it is a
start. There is also a small performance increase with the new cache:
With a large keyring and --list-sigs I get these numbers:
before | after | |
------+------------+------------ | ||
real | 14m1.028s | 12m16.186s |
user | 2m18.484s | 1m36.040s |
sys | 11m42.420s | 10m40.044s |
Note the speedup in the user time which is due to the improved cache
algorithm. This is obvious, because the old cache was just a long
linked list; the new cache are two hash tables.
